Looks like Vemomworldorder is going to move to electric Woooo Hoooo wou won't look back.
I have heard that these motors last for ever and need only bearing rebuild at 7,000 hours. Now if you race your car on a day you might get 1 hour track time, so that's 7,000 race meetings LOLOLOL. By then I would say we will be running motors that we have not heard of yet.
The reason they last so long is that there is not wearing parts apart from the brearings. I guess that's why the miltary and the medical world have been using them for so long. Also you can put as much current in them as you like. Planes run these with 27 cells.
Sure it a big one of purchase, but think how long does a hot 8 turn motor last and how offten do you have to update batteries. And if you want to race club days you need to buy another motor so you don't use up your good motors. So now your thinking about the price of two normal motors that is not far off the price of a brushless motor. Actually about the same. I know I am in for it, bring it on.
